However someone or some people, collected seeds from a plant when it was endangered and propagated it and now there are a very few in the wild. At an art camp we got to see one in the wild!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIt is a stunning flower in the hibiscus family. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt’s curved and folded with so much texture and personality. However what is so cool to me is the “senescence”. I just learned this term from Dayna (Laulima Nature Center) at the art camp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIt’s the process of aging for the plant. In this particular case the flower petals start off a light greenish color and the stamen are bright red and shiny bauble like. As it ages the petals change to a red ish purple color all the way to a purple maroon color. The stamen change too, they appear to dry out and change to a warm umber like color. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eI’m not at all an expert, these are just things I have learned from others and observed myself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThese little beauties have a lot of character, color and textures. I wanted to capture all the lines and edges and ridges. I especially wanted to capture their senescence.  And really showcase that change that they go through. \u003cspan\u003eHoʻōla Hou means, revive, a healing restoration of life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kaleilehua Designs","offers":[{"title":"8x10 Matted in 11x14","offer_id":47766747873521,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x10 Not matted","offer_id":47768745640177,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/0737\/5601\/files\/Hou.jpg?v=1775045531","url":"https:\/\/www.kaleilehuadesigns.com\/products\/ho%ca%bbola-hou-art-print","provider":"Kaleilehua Designs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
